The Tribune's Neil Steinberg recently wrote about the sad number of qualified SANE nurses in Illinois hospitals. SANE nurses are those trained to examine and collect evidence from rape victims.

The first clip follows our discussion of the SANE program and the second clip follows our discussion of the legislation.
